Windows users, install youtube-dl
https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html
(one of the best open sourced software)
It will allow URLS from vidzi, dailymotion etc. to play, also install mpv media player, have the youtbue-dl.exe and the mpv.exe into the same dir and add to path environment, as for linux brethren, you know the score, just add path to mpv instead of vlc.

Does what it says it does. Unfortunately doesn't support youtube's DASH-Playback, so no more than 720p resolution supported on youtube.

It works great and have no complains, but I'm gonna throw a suggestion out there. VLC is terrible for playing http / hls / mpd content. I mean really terrible, you pause the video and when you resume it will just stop and wont remember las playback position, it wont cache content properly, etc. I started using mplayer derivates and now Im really happy (smplayer, potplayer) but I can't use this extension. I use one that is called videodownloadhelper, copy the link, and paste it on the player. So anyhow, my sugestion is: create an extension that allows you to open this kind of media using whatever program you want. Another thing ist that using just the url allows is closing the browser, and the playback wont stop, I don't know if that's a browser limitation or by design.

personified perfection. thank you all! live long and prosper \\//

not bad. but...
it coud not work from thumnail "Open in VLC" by context menu... uh oh...

Works perfectly, the only con it is that you have to install an external software in order to work properly.

This is a great replacement for VLC YouTube Shortcut, which still is not a WebExtension. That being said, that addon has options for play AND enqueue, as well as keyboard shortcuts to hold ctrl or shift while clicking link to choose either one. While these are already useful, I use a custom script with both of these addons, which makes the 2 different options even better. Having these features here as well would make this the perfect replacement for VLC YouTube Shortcut. I kindly ask this be looked into to see if these features can still be done. I still recommend this for Firefox 57+ users regardless :)

i have been using it for years, easy and very reliable

Works good. Any chance for dailymotion support? VLC recognizes their urls and plays videos the same as youtube.

Edit: there's no plugin, it works the same way as youtube with a dailymotion.luac file. The only thing your addon would need to do is recognize the urls on its page and then add it to the playlist. I will file a request on FAQs page.
